Yes. After the training activity, whether has it been perfomed in person or through an online platform, alumni must comple an evaluation activity. 

AZTERLAN will offer the company:

  • A certificate for each alumni detailing the modules or topics they have participated in
  • The individual results of the evaluation activities performed

Currently, this activity is targeted at foundry companies as a way to stengthen the continuous training and the expertise of their workforce. 

The cost of the activity varies dependig on aspects such as: the amount of modules selected; the amount of people participating in the activity; whether the activity is held online, at AZTERLAN facilities or at customer company facilities; or the performance of other specific training activities consensuated between AZTERLAN and the customer company.

Shaping the
Foundry of the Future

“The Foundry of the Future is that of connected processes that is able to take advantage of the knowledge generated inside the company at the same time that it keeps learning from its manufacturing and market experience.

Along with a deep knowledge of metallurgy, Industry 4.0 technologies, advanced data management systems and machine learning technologies have landed in this industry to transform the way castings are conceived”.
